Martin Moeller	Thursday 22 February 2007 5:58:58 am Hi, a multilingual website, made with eZ publish, now hast to support the russian language with cyrillic characters. As this didn't work, I switched the Database from ISO-8859-1-format to UTF-8 and changed this in the ini-Files of eZ publish too, but still I cannot handle cyrillic texts. When pasting the text into the textarea, first it is displayed properly, but after saving the page, all characters become questionmarks. I didn't find a solution, yet. So I would be very thankful for each suggestion. Kind regards Morton

The mistake was quite simple: The tables of the database itself were converted to UTF-8, but some fields were still set to latin. After finding this out and chaning this, eZ publish worked fine again. Kind Regards Morton

Hi,

a multilingual website, made with eZ publish, now hast to support the russian language with cyrillic characters. As this didn't work, I switched the Database from ISO-8859-1-format to UTF-8 and changed this in the ini-Files of eZ publish too, but still I cannot handle cyrillic texts.

When pasting the text into the textarea, first it is displayed properly, but after saving the page, all characters become questionmarks. I didn't find a solution, yet. So I would be very thankful for each suggestion.

Make sure that your .tpl files starts with

{*?template charset=utf8*}
